       Today the big day has finally arrived.  We are in the MTC.  We were met by missionaries who guided our every step.  They took our bags to our room and we spent the next couple of hours being being processed: pictures taken, cards and keys issued, immunizations checked, orientation, buying supplies, unpacking and settling in.  We got quite a reaction from the group when Karen told them during the introductions that we are going to Siberia.  The brother conducting said “Its really nice in Siberia. . . the 3^rd week in July.”

Our room is small and reminds me of the dorm rooms I had in college at USU.  But I think they will be fine.
